MATTRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 702,193, dated June 10, 1902.

l Application filed May 23, 1901. Serial Nok 61,593. (N model.)

ain, No. 8,613, bearingdate April26, 1901,) of.

which the following is a speciiication.

This inventionrelates to an improved mat-A tress, which may consist of one or severall parts so provided that the filling material may be easily sampled by the intending buyer, which is an advantage particularly valued in the sale of mattresses, and whereby the filling material may be taken out or replaced in the4 cover without the assistance of askilled workman being required. y t i The invention consists in the formation in the cover of the mattress of pockets, which are stuffed to form the edges of the mattress.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figures 1,2, and 3 are diagrammatic details showing the manner in which the pocketsare formed. Fig. 4 is a transverse section through a mattress provided With stuffed edge pockets aecordin g tothe invention. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of a mattress in which the sides are laced together; and Fig. 6 is a perspective View of a mattress, of which Fig. 5 is a transverse section. s

In carrying the invention into eifect the cover b of the mattress is provided, preferably, onits under face with strips a, Fig. l, of lcanvas or other material, whichmay be the same material as that of which the cover b is formed, and these strips a are sewed Fig. 4, and may afterward be finished by sew.- s

ing or lacing, as indicated at e, Fig. 5.

For facilitating the filling of the mattress with the stuff or filling material and of easily removing it one or more sides of the mattress may be provided with slits, such as 71., and a series of buttons, such as t', as illustrated in Fig. 6.

It will be understood that as the-pockets are formed by placing the strips a on the under face of the cover it is not necessary to tie up or close the pockets at their endsfor example, as at g, Fig. 6. It is only necessary to `sew up the cover in the usual Way.A

The improved mattress, provided according to the invention, has thus a good appearance and is possessed of great durability, while, moreover, it is possible to clean or disinfect the stud or filling material and replace it in its cover Without the assistance of a skilled workman, which was hitherto impossible.

, What I claim as my invention, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a mattress in combination, a cover, four longitudinal and 4four transverse pockets formed therein corresponding in length respectively to the length and width of the mattress,stuff:' or filling material in said pockets, said pockets forming the edges of the mattress, lsubstantially as described. In testimony whereof I have signed my Aname to this specification in the presence of `two subscribing witnesses.
